Visit These Pinoy Attractions For ₱1500 or Less!

When I was a student who was still enjoying the summer break, I would be satisfied with just chilling at home while working on my hobbies. I was a definite homebody. But now as a parent, I understand how staying cooped up at home can be boring for young kids. I’ve also learned the value of being outdoors and how movement is important for people of all ages.

Of course, it’s just not realistic or cheap to take frequent family outings to the beach or trips to resorts. Luckily, there are options that are just as fun and guaranteed to be as memorable. We’ve listed a few attractions around the country where you can visit according to your family’s interests. The best thing is that you can also choose the perfect place for you depending on your budget!

From Passenger Princess to Driver: How I Gained the Confidence to Take The Wheel, Too!

I grew up without a family car, so I was used to commuting. When I started working, I lived close to the office.
